See Exhibit A. On July 13, 2015, the Applicant submitted an application to rezone the Property from T6-12-L to T6-12-0, which is identified by File ID Nos. 15- 00975zc and 1126 ("Rezoning Application"). This letter shall serve as the Applicant's formal withdrawal without prejudice of the Rezoning Application and request to obtain a refund of the submitted application fees. Rezoning Application History. The Applicant submitted the Rezoning Application on July 13, 2015. Accordingly, the Applicant was invoiced and paid the required application fees in the amount of $28,773.90 pursuant to City of Miami ("City") Code of Ordinances ("Code") Section 62-22. See Exhibit B. The Planning and Zoning Department issued a recommendation of approval for the Rezoning Application. The City's Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board ("PZAB") considered the Rezoning Application on September 2, 2015, and voted to recommend approval of the Rezoning Application. Thereafter, the Rezoning Application was scheduled for hearing before the City Commission on October 22, 2015, at which time the Rezoning Application was continued and was not considered. The Rezoning Application was subsequently deferred on October 22, 2015; November 19, 2015; January 28, 2016; April 28, 2016; June 23, 2016; September 22, 2016; and October 27, 2016. On January 26, SOUTHEAST FINANCIAL CENTER • 200 SOUTH BISCAYNE BOULEVARD, SUITE 850 • MIAMI, FLORIDA 33131 PHONE. 305.374.5300 • FAX. 305.377.6222 • WWW.BRZONENGLAW.COM Ms. Olga Zamora, Chief City of Miami Hearing Boards May 16, 2017 Page 2 of 2 2017, the Rezoning Application "indefinitely deferred" without having been considered by the Commission. Requests. The Applicant seeks a withdrawal without prejudice of the Rezoning Application as well as a refund of the submitted application fees. Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.g.6 of Miami 21 provides as follows: Whenever an applicant has voluntarily withdrawn an application for rezoning of property during either first or second reading before the City Commission, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board shall not thereafter consider an application for the same property for eighteen (18) months from the date of such action, nor consider an application for any kind of rezoning of any part or all of the same property for twelve (12) months from the date of such action. (Emphasis added). Accordingly, since the City Commission has merely deferred the Rezoning Application and has not yet heard or decided the Rezoning Application at first reading, the eighteen (18) month limitation on further consideration after voluntary withdrawal provision has not been triggered. Thus, neither the eighteen (18) month limitation related to the Property, nor the twelve (12) month limitation for any application including the Property, are applicable. This letter confirms that the foregoing limitations are not applicable, and in reliance on this confirmation, the Applicant formally withdraws the Rezoning Application without prejudice and requests a refund of the associated application fees.
